Quite Inadvertently...I've Become a GMT Man!
I'm not even a true vintage Rolex guy, but I've been smitten by the GMT. In New York, Subs dangle from subway straps like sausages in a deli window all day long, heading to and from Wall Street. But not the GMT! A splash of color, and a modest complication...all make for a very wearable, if not intriguing set-up. Do I need them both? Of course not. But they span (within meager budget) a genre that has taken on distinctive looks over its life cycle. For me, the early 1675 and the first 16760 comprise a modest, but earnest GMT collection. Best, Ken in NYC

A clever way to sum the GMT.
Pointed crown guards / Square crown guards, chapter ring or not, small, painted or circled indexes 24 hours triangle hand / big, thin or thick case, quick set of the date or not, sapphire or plexy, an early 1675 and a so called Fat Lady are two superb exp...
I fear I've owned a 6542...
...but purchasing it again will upset my "bookend" strategy. I would then have to buy a new ceramic! Thanks, Ken
Agreed on the GMT II C. The ceramic insert is fascinating.
Its depth is really awesome. That would be a nice complement to your Duo! Best, Nicolas
Both
Both great references. Now you just need the Explorer II to complete the GMT trifecta!
Great Bookends
Glad to see you are happy with your fantastic collection - who wouldn't be with that pretty 1675! V/R Mike
